My latest completion. A Revell SCCA MUSTANG. I think it raced back in 91 or so in the Trans Am Series. I added some extra details not included in the kit. Also corrected the front clip, attaching the front spoiler to the chasie and covering the scribe lines from the hood lines. the race car does not have that. the seat belts and net and toe loops are scratch built, the kits decals were ruined so I got a new set from indycals.

I finally finished it! The Whistler Mustang Road Racer from the 90's is done. I built all of the 80's versions and I'm starting on the 90's cars. The kit is pretty good for its age, except for the molded in detail that is almost impossible to paint, so I didn't. I foiled the chassis and interior with Aluminum BMF. The Chassis plate was a little warped, too bad I didn't notice it until half way through the build. I used red flake paint on the top and a white flake on the bottom part. The decals were a b*%@!. Typical Monogram/Revell from the old days. I reshot the wheels with Alclad Airframe Aluminum because the chrome was ######. The body is also a poor fit for the old 80's chassis. BTW, the chassis is close but no cigar for the real car. Research revealed a few problems. I was thinking of doing an all out build of the Lappalainin car, but I'd have to scratchbuild a chassis for it. I'm not so sure I'm up to it. Anyhoo, here's the photos:
